CJ Abrams Returns To Friday's Lineup
1 year agoWashington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (elbow) is back at shortstop and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Abrams was day-to-day this week after getting hit by a pitch on his right elbow Tuesday. He sat out of Wednesday's game but has returned on Friday after having Thursday's off day to rest up. The 22-year-old is mostly useful for his speed (nine stolen bases) in deep-mixed fantasy leagues. He's returning to a .233/.279/.390 slash line with seven home runs, 14 doubles, two triples, 33 RBI and 30 runs scored in 72 games in his first full season in D.C. Abrams has hit well in his last 11 games, going 12-for-37 (.324) with a homer, three RBI and three stolen bases.
